At a time when most of the heroes are looking to make way for Baahubali release, Mahesh takes on the challenge. After the releasing the first look and teaser of Srimanthudu, Mahesh Babu reveals that the family drama will release on July 17. What`s interesting to see is that Prabhas-starrer Baahubali will hit screens on July 10 - exactly a week before Mahesh`s film.

Given the magnitude of Baahubali release and the hoopla surrounding the epic drama, it really is a challenging move by Mahesh Babu to go ahead with his film`s release. Also, there is a possibility that Baahubali might be pushed back if the team may not be able to complete the CG work in time. So interesting times ahead at the Tollywood box office!
